Master Yi vs Shaco

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to maintain high camp tempo and reach item spikes quickly against Shaco's early pressure.
Avoid early river fights unless your lanes have priority, as Shaco's invade resistance and stealth create risky counter-invade scenarios.

Jungle Plan

Focus on efficient full clears and secure safe resets to preserve tempo before hitting your item spikes.
Contest river control and Scuttle Crab only when lane priority allows, avoiding direct fights with Shaco's stealth and box setups.
Use cross-map camp trades to deny Shaco farm and force him into awkward pathing, especially before your first item completes.

Danger windows

Avoid early isolated river fights where Shaco's invisibility and box traps can set ambushes.
Be cautious contesting objectives early if Shaco has vision and box setups controlling entrances.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights are risky before your first item; prioritize safe farming and avoid forced engagements.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit your first item timing faster and avoid early Shaco level 2-3 invade cheese.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes can move first and provide reliable counter-gank support.
Track Shaco's initial pathing to anticipate his early ganks or invades and adjust your pathing away from risky river fights.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to clean up fights after enemy CC is committed and chase down low-health targets for resets.
First item spike significantly boosts your sustained damage and objective control; maintain camp tempo to reach this power spike quickly.
Respect Shaco's early level 2-3 gank pressure and invisibility, which can punish overextensions before your spikes.

Win conditions

Convert superior clear speed and scaling into uncontested objective control after first item.
Use (R) resets to clean up messy skirmishes once Shaco's early CC and stealth are expended.
Deny Shaco early jungle tempo by counter-jungling when lanes have priority, forcing him behind and reducing his gank threat.
